"Recent federal legislation ended continuous enrollment in Medicaid, allowing renewals to begin on April 1. As a result, the extended health coverage for some people on Medicaid will end, with dis-enrollments expected as soon as June 1. Here in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, up to 260,000 people, and as many as 18 million citizens across the country, could be affected." - Kennan Wethington, Courier Journal If you have been on Medicaid insurance within the past few years you may need to re-apply for the program regardless of your eligibility or status. Because of the COVID-19 public health emergency, Medicaid status enrollment was temporarily suspended. This program will be ending soon. If you are currently receiving Medicaid you should check your eligibility and make sure that your information is current with the state. You may re-enroll starting April 1, 2023. You can contact the Kentucky Department of Medicaid Services either at kynect.ky.gov or by calling 855-459-6328. The dis-enrollment process is expected to begin as of June 1, 2023. |
